It All Starts With War

By Stepahnie Ramirez

When you are in war
You are always sore
You hope to get out alive
With injuries, hoping to survive
When you're hiding in the trench
You aren't comfortable, you are cold and drenched

Hoping not to get trench foot
And wondering where you'll be put

Constantly hearing GO FIGHT WIN
You know you're in trouble when you see the pin

Fighting for words is the thing to do
I'll give my life for my family, friends, and you

Running to trenches for safety
Hoping they'll spare your life and leave you be
Maybe see your family
Be home for the holidays and be merry

Or maybe after one round
You'll be lying face down in the ground
All you hear is screaming, gun fire, and BOOM!
If you go over the trench, you face your doom
Covered in mud
And even more blood
Praying every chance you get to God
You'll see Him soon, after you go because of the captain's nod
